Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding formulas that relate electric current, resistance, and the heat produced in a liquid or aqueous medium, drawing parallels to heating elements. Participants explore relevant equations and seek resources for specific heat tables.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks formulas linking current, resistance, and heat in a liquid medium, similar to heating elements.
  • Another participant references a previous thread for additional context or information.
  • A participant mentions the equation R*I^2 = T and questions its equivalence to the initial inquiry, suggesting it may have limitations based on material properties.
  • There is a request for resources on specific heat tables, indicating a need for further information on the topic.
  • A suggestion is made that a specific handbook contains the desired tables, providing a potential resource for participants.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying levels of familiarity with the equations and concepts, and there is no clear consensus on the equivalence of the formulas or their applicability to different materials.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the limitations of the equations mentioned or the specific conditions under which they apply, nor does it clarify the assumptions behind the proposed formulas.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in the thermal properties of materials in relation to electrical resistance and those seeking resources for specific heat capacities.

Im trying to find a formula(s) that link current to resistance to the heat produced by the resistance, simaliar to a heating element only it would be a liquid or aqueous medium
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Ah, that helps, I also came across R*I^2 =T, for future referance are these equivalent in some aspect, I am guessing this one has some limitation in regards to what materials it can be used for.

Also does someone on here have a good resource for specific heat tables?
 
The "Handbook" has these tables I think.
